The paper identifies adaptive evolution in bat IFITMs and a novel antiviral determinant involving S-palmitoylation at codon 70 and cysteine residues.

The paper identifies a common transcriptional program in genetically diverse UPEC strains from UTI patients, marked by upregulated translational machinery and specialized catabolism.

The study evaluates the upgrade rate of radial scar/complex sclerosing lesion with atypia to malignancy on surgical excision, finding higher rates with atypical ductal hyperplasia than lobular neoplasia.

This study shows that muscle nonshivering thermogenesis (NST) contributes to thermoregulation in newborn wild boar piglets lacking brown adipose tissue (BAT), with increased SERCA activity and temperature.

The paper introduces a method to improve divergence-time estimation by filtering genes from phylogenomic datasets based on clock-likeness and topological compatibility, showing it reduces error in time inference.

This study shows NOTCH signaling modulates chromatin structure both autonomously and non-autonomously in senescent cells through the JAG1-NOTCH-HMGA1 axis.

The paper maps whole genome duplications (WGDs) and diversification shifts in Caryophyllales, finding some correlations but no tight link between WGDs and diversification rates.

The paper uses advanced imaging techniques to study membrane bending during clathrin-coat assembly and finds that bending occurs at different stages of the process, challenging existing models.

The paper identifies 26 paleopolyploidy events in Caryophyllales, including two paleo-allopolyploidy events, using dense transcriptome and genome sampling and novel analytical methods.

The paper analyzes concordance and conflict in avian phylogenies over time, finding persistent conflicts in major clades despite advances in phylogenetic methods.
